Original Bobby Jones Color Study Oil Painting with Original Sketch by Artist Robert Fletcher - Framed
An exquisite depiction of the 1930 crowned champion Bobby Jones standing in the center donning plus fours and shirt and tie under his sweater as if he was peering straight at the oil on canvas highly acclaimed artist Robert Fletcher. This oil painting comes with Fletcher's original pencil study from the planning stage of his fairly extensive master process to achieve the finished product you see before you.
George Trevor sportswriter for the New York Sun would phrase Jones' four Major triumphs in 1930 as such, "stormed the impregnable quadrilateral of golf." It would be what many would consider the most important achievement in professional golf until that point.

His works are exhibited on the historic grounds of Cherry Hills and Colorado Golf Club in bronze busts, prior to participating as a lead artist in the recent Golf Heritage Society Meeting art workshop.

This offering is for an original oil on canvas of the legendary Bobby Jones by Robert Fletcher, with the prized artist's signature painted in the bottom left-hand corner. 12" x 24"
